hundred bushels skillfully distributed

burg. NJ. T. special says: At l o'clock
this morning party of twenty.four
men, all masked, aroused Louis De-
mare, Sam Taleman and F. l.. Curry
superintendent of the San Francisco
mine, from their beds and conducted
them out of town to O distance OF
about n half mile, there they were
told to leave the camp without further
notice or they might expect nothing
but death. The warning was emphasiz-
ed in the case of Demars and Toleman
about whose necks ropes were thrown
They were drawn up twice to the limb
of tree and lowered again half
strangled. All of the parties were then
set at liberty. In spite Of the warning
Demars and Toleman returned to
town and placed themselves under
the protection of the deputy sheriff.
Sheriff Coleman came over from Deer
Lodge this morning to assist in the
protection of their lives. Superintend.
ent Curry walked to Stone station, on
the Northern Pacific, and remains
there awaiting developments. The
cause is supposed to be illegal jump,
ing of some mining claims which has
taken place within the last few days
but the exact nature of the offense and
perpetrators OF the outrage can not
be learned just at present. 1t is
thought the presence of Sheriff Cole
man and the deputies that he will swear
in will be sufficient to prevent any fur
ther trouble.
